Kim Dong-wan enlists

Singer and actor Kim Dong-wan (The Person I Love, Taekwon Boys) is the next Shinhwa member, following Eric last month, to take on military duty. Kim explained that he spoke to Eric on the phone before his enlistment, who gave him some practical tips. (One of those tips: Be sure to wear shoes that are somewhat large.)

He officially entered training on the afternoon of November 17 in South Chungcheong province, saying goodbye to the press and the throng of fans (250 of them!) who came to send him off. Some fans reportedly traveled from China and Japan to say their goodbyes.


 
See ya in two years, Kim Dong-wan:

I don't know the guy, but he looks extremely cute in that pic. I wonder what he looks like with some hair? I mean not alot of men can pull of that hair cut, but it suits him...

i'm hoping you're either very new to the kpop scene, or you probably know him but don't recognize him with the new hair cut.

I agree. Dongwan actually looks decent in a buzz, unlike a lot of other stars who have enlisted.

Regarding Java's earlier post of how most stars are extremely self-conscious with their short hair, it seems to me like all the Shinhwa members are really comfortable (and good-looking) with their buzzcuts. Well, we'll see how the next one (Jun-Jin?) turns out. :]]

And there he goes away too :(

You know, the new haircut suits him, imho. For some reason, it wasn't such a shock to see him with shaved hair, not like, say Gong Yoo.

I totally agree with previous comments.
Shinhwa members don't have to be conscious about their hair, everyone already knows even to the ugliest and weirdest hair+makeup they've done before. Besides, they know they're hot no matter what lol.
I bet Junjin will be the same too. He did shave his head before. Maybe Minwoo's and Hyesung's will give a little bit surprise for us.
This is going to be sad that Dongwan leaves. No idol is as witty as him! Take care and see you soon, wannie!

It won't be the same without Dongwan and Eric. I can't wait till all six are back on stage together. I don't mind waiting 4-5 years because it'll be worth it. :D

^^ Haha, that's what I was thinking too. Most Shinhwa members have gone through a phase of having buzz cut. Eric, Dongwan, and Junjin have. I'm not entirely sure about Minwoo and Andy. But lol, lucky Hyesung, he treasures his hair way too much to bear a buzz cut.

wouldn't it be nice if all of them went all at the same time then come out all at the same time too? What a comeback to shinhwa,

KDW is more good looking than Eric and Junjin in short hair cut. He's kinda cute and appeared much younger than his age. he can pass for a highschool student =)

@_@ Wear shoes that are somewhat large?!?!?!?
Why...why..why?? Isn't it supposed to be "somewhat comfortable" and the "right size" of shoes? Bizarre.

aww~ there goes my favorite Shinhwa member. ;_____;

It feels like deja vu seeing him in a buzz cut again... And I'm guessing the fans feel sadder that they can't even celebrate his birthday (Nov. 21)~ (no bday fanmeeting!)

Stay safe and healthy, Dongwan!

i'll be without my Shinhwa for 3-5 yrs. !!! I am so sad~~

dong wan has shaved his hair before so i guess thats why it's not bad to see him with his hair like that. he still looks good~~

he looks cute with his military haircut! bogoshiposo already! we'll miss you! i liked you in TPIL altho at times I hated your character for leaving your son & his mother for another woman! but it's all in the drama so I think I can bear with that! (smiles). You take care & hope the days truly go by so quickly so that you, Eric, Jo Hyun Jae, Jae Hee & others I can't remember now to come back soon! Pali-pali (hurry hurry in Korean). God bless!

Dongwan looks so cute! Even with a buzz cut!

Man... my favorite Shinhwa... I can't wait till all of them go and come back. It's gonna be a long 3-5 years.

Ha, I wonder what Minwoo and Andy are going to look like with their military hair. I can't imagine it; for some reason, I don't think they're gonna look as good as Dongwan or Eric and so they might wear a hat to cover it up.

@miny: Yes, it's true. He injured his leg during Shinhwa's guerilla concert (even had a knee surgery for it). His leg hurts from time to time, even when he's just walking. So he's not fit to serve.

Wannie!! Gah... so sad. I felt sadder this time around I think.
But still its sad to see Shinhwa go. I know its inevitable.
I will miss ur smiles and jokes wannie..He can meet up with eric. Or something.

Gah... when Minwoo leaves ill probably be real sad then... Then Jin and Andy.
Hmmm.. Ill probably be shocked with Minwoo's hair if he does the same cut.
But most of them have had the buzz cut before. Just not M, and Andy.
Hyesung's not going. He's exempted due to an knee injury.

Sigh... Ill be waiting for ur return wannie.
Fighting! Take of urself and be healthy!
Shinhwa Hwaiting!

First my favorite actor (Jae Hee), now my favorite gasoo. *sigh* K-entertainment is pretty much dead to me now lol. I eagerly look forward to your return, Dongwan! Come back healthy and happy.
